Will Whisson (Will Whisson Music) a singer/songwriter born in Kent, and raised overseas, now returned to the UK and living the free and roaming life of a camper-van man, in order to fully pursue his ambitions of becoming a full-time solo musician and songwriter. This self-sufficient, independant approach to life has enabled him to build a significant profile and win many followers across Europe and the UK, since he began his nomadic journey in the spring of 2016.
His original songs incorporate the rootsy sounds of artists like John Butler and Jack Johnson, whilst his laid-back, soft vocals and expressive guitar playing are reminiscent of more contemporary artists like John Mayer and Ben Howard. With a Dylan-esque emphasis alive in his lyrics, Will’s eclectic mixture of influences have helped him to carve out songs that are melodic, meaningful and engaging. Musically, Will showcases a wealth of guitar playing techniques that include, looping, soloing and percussive playing, whist his unique vocals, plus the addition of harmonica all serve to make his sets dynamic and exciting!
With Record of the Day predicting - "He’ll be winning lots of new friends in 2017 with this simply gorgeous blend of organic folk-tinged pop," Will continues to perform live across Europe & the UK with a sound that is one of optimism, positivity and freedom.
Support comes in the lyrical, very physical form of Marty Farrer-Williams of Marty Mayhem and the Liabilities, playing a solo, acoustic set!
